11:03 pm - The year begins ...Not yet a week in to the year, and already I'm getting ready for the first fencing tournament. Tomorrow, in fact, the Scottish Open, starting far too early over in Edinburgh. Still, rwrylsin and I did manage to get to the gym last Wednesday, and to fencing training on Thursday, and I've managed to avoid getting any colds, flus or other infections so far this winter (touch wood!), so I'm going in to it in better shape and better prepared than the previous two times.

Looking back at 2006, we managed to get to the gym forty-odd times, and to fencing training around fifty times, and competed in 11 tournaments (or was it 12 ?!). Unfortunately, the gym visits were very unevenly spread - 6 visits in December, but only 9 between July and November ! We did have to contend with visits from my parents and rwrylsin's, a three week driving holiday, plus various trips away and fencing events, but a certain amount of laziness crept in as well. This year we intend to do better - getting to the gym at least once a week, and preferably two. We'll see ...Current Mood:sleepy
